Question
The boy is already 1 year old. Initially, he felt pain when swallowing water, noticed more severe coughing, and has been slightly feverish. How should a child with a sore throat due to tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first involves giving the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child’s throat pain is particularly severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a slight fever, it should be treated appropriately. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the illness is controlled to avoid recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet during the treatment period, with a focus on liquid foods.
